One reason is that capitalism treats them like sh*t. Listen to how badly tuned pianos often were in recordings even of the jazz giants. And that's only one aspect. Read Lawrence Lessig "Free culture" on copyright. Another reason is: Because most are open-minded, they are more prone to depression and music is an attempt of self therapy (that partly works).
@jumpingdogdesign I read somewhere that the flugelhorn wasn't in the best shape and had some valve/tube problems. He recorded a whole LP with it too, "Baby Breeze". Born To Be Blue is off that one.
wow; great performances; great recording; great time capsule; the world’s a better place that this exists
Thanks so much for posting high quality versions of Jazz classics like this. I look forward to more.
Wow! What a time capsule.. very fine jazz with cigarette smoking. I remember it well...
I remember that the smokers aged faster than everyone else.

Love the smoke too! Remember it all as well, best of times
Home boy got it goin on. He doing it on that piano.

You had to be there with other songs, that Chet is emulating. Great songs from Chet!

1964 was a time when everybody was smoking and drinking at all times. That is only a mild exaggeration.

Jacques Pelzer- sax, Franco Manzecchi- drums, Luigi Trussardi- bass and Rene Urtreger- piano.
only Chet.
what a great band ! was this recorded in Europe ? I don't recognize anyone but Baker
Yep, in Belgium
Pianist is René Urtreger, famous French post war jazzman.
Why do great artists live a bad life and end up tragically??

the tape is changing speeds, so the pitch is changing.
